Wanquan commanded the envoy that is, Xuanfu Town is located, this kind of only set up the command of the embassy and not set up the Chengxuan political envoy and the punishment according to the situation of the prosecution is quite rare in the Ming Dynasty, and Wanquan is similar to the commander, it seems that Liaodong is also the commander of the envoy.

These two border towns only have the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, and there is no Yamen of the Annunciation of the Political Envoy and the Yamen of the Prosecution of the Procuratorate.

In other words, there are no civil affairs organs in the Wanquan Command Embassy Division, only military and political institutions.

In this case, the power of the commander is greater, and the commander of the Wanquan Division is almost a feudal official, of course, it is basically impossible for the imperial court to let a commander become the same as the existence of a feudal official, under normal circumstances, the imperial court will send a governor or a patrol to manage Xuanfu Town, and the commander can only listen to the governor or a patrol.

Yang Cong has been in Xuanfu Town for almost a month, and he hasn't seen Wanquandu Commander, this is not because people are arrogant, and they don't take him seriously as a patrolman, mainly because Wanquandu Commander Si Yamen is not in Xuanhua Mansion City, and everyone is commanding envoys to have a bunch of things to deal with every day.

Wanquan commanded the envoy to set up the Yamen in Wanquan County, which is the northwest corner of Xuanfu Town, and if the Tartars come to attack, they will generally choose this area, which is equivalent to the front line of Xuanfu Town.

At about midnight that morning, outside the south gate of Wanquan County, more than 10,000 guards from the three guards of Wanquan Left Guard, Wanquan Right Guard, and Huai'an Wei almost poured into the nest, lined up for several miles in the phalanx, and Wanquan commanded Wang Fuchen and Li Fengming, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, also stood in front of the Tunwei phalanx, waiting silently.

The inspector was going to come to inspect, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and when they received the news from Xuanhua City, they had already brought their guards and generals to wait.

After a moment or so, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves finally came from the southwest, and the patrol lord finally arrived, Wang Fuchen and Li Fengming couldn't help but glance at each other, but there was no joy on their faces, and their faces didn't seem to be very good-looking.

Xuanhua Mansion City Wanquan County is not far away, a total of more than 80 miles, if you hurry up, more than an hour will arrive, Yang Cong also got up early this day, arranged everything in Xuanhua Mansion City, he took a group of guards and more than 100 brocade guards to set off.

The further the road went to the northwest, the more dilapidated it became, and when he arrived in Wanquan County, Yang Cong saw that many villages were only ruins left, and there was no figure in the farmland around, just like a ghost domain.

What does this Wang Fuchen mean, is this how he governs the place?

Yang Cong was really a little unhappy in his heart, so when Wang Fuchen and Li Fengming came forward to greet him, his face was not very good.

After the two sides saluted, he pointed to the tens of thousands of tun guards and said: "General Wang, does it seem that there are a lot of tun guards here, why are the tuntian fields in many places barren?" ”

When Wang Fuchen heard this, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, the last general is afraid that the Tartar cavalry will rush in from which gap, and the grain planted will also be wasted at that time. ”

You guy, this attitude is too negative, I didn't order the wall to clear the wilderness, it's better for you to directly let so many tuntian fields be wasted there.

Yang Cong was a little angry and said, "What about the rations of so many guards?" ”

Wang Fuchen said cautiously: "The last general has already arranged for their families to go to the south bank of the Yanghe River, and the Tartar cavalry generally does not cross the Yanghe River to the south, so it is still relatively safe to Tuntian over there." “

Yang Cong was speechless, he didn't think about blocking the Tartar cavalry and preventing them from rushing into Xuanfu Town to plunder.

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said to Li Fengming on the side: "General Li, this month has almost passed, how is the gathering of war horses?" ”

Li Fengming glanced at Wang Fuchen and said ashamedly: "This, the last general has only gathered about 4,000 war horses for the time being. ”

Four thousand horses, almost enough.

Yang Cong said lightly: "Okay, plus the original more than 1,000 war horses in Xuanhua Mansion City are almost enough, you can go to the Great Wall in the north with this official to inspect and escort the war horses back." ”

Li Fengming really didn't expect that such a little war horse could be fooled over, you must know that there were nearly 80,000 war horses in the heyday of Xuanfu Town, and even 8,000 were not enough at this time, he really had no face to go back.

Fortunately, fortunately, the patrol lord was not naïve enough to think that there were still tens of thousands of war horses in Xuanfu Town, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Yang Cong then said to Wang Fuchen: "General Wang, you have gathered all the guards here, what about the Great Wall in the north, don't you need people to guard it?" ”

This one.

Wang Fuchen explained embarrassedly: "My lord, the Great Wall in the north is almost all built on the mountains, and it is very inconvenient to transport grain and grass, so it is generally not necessary to send a large army to garrison it all year round. ”

Yang Cong expressed serious doubts, I am afraid that he will not send people to guard the Great Wall at all, otherwise how could he be so passive that he will "clear the wilderness".

Yang Cong shook his head secretly, and then said lightly: "Oh, that's okay, let them disperse first, you and General Li will accompany me to the north first." ”

This!

Wang Fuchen said with a little weakness: "My lord has worked hard all the way, why don't you go to the city to rest for a while." ”

What does this guy mean?

Yang Cong said quietly: "Rest is free, let's go to the north first, you prepare, we will set off immediately." ”

When Wang Fuchen heard this, he had to order someone to dismiss the guards, and then led Yang Cong and Li Fengming to the Great Wall in the north of Wanquan County.

Yang Cong ran to the Xinkou Great Wall in the north of Wanquan County to take a look, and immediately understood what this guy meant.

My God, is this still called the Great Wall, as far as the eye can see, there are gaps everywhere, and the city walls are gnawed like dogs, and in many places there are no arrow stacks or anything, and only the bare base is left!

He couldn't hang a mouthful of blood spurting out, how could such a Great Wall resist the attack of the Tartars!

Wang Fuchen, this guy, I heard that he is the wife of Chengguo Duke Zhu Neng, and he is also a blood relative of Chengguo Gong, if it weren't for this, he really wanted to withdraw this guy immediately.

Is there any mistake, is that how you are the commander?

After inspecting the direction of Zhangjiakou along the new opening for a while, he finally couldn't help but say coldly: "General Wang, there are seven or eight gaps in just over ten miles, do you think such a Great Wall can resist the attack of the Tartars?" ”

Wang Fuchen could only shake his head and say, "No." ”

Yang Cong couldn't help but scolded: "Knowing that you can't, why don't you organize people to repair it?" ”

Wang Fuchen's face changed in fright, this patrol lord was really as Li Fengming said, young and vigorous, or a little stunned.

He carefully explained: "My lord, it's not that the last general is unwilling to organize people to repair, the main thing is that it is too difficult to repair the city wall on this mountain range, and I don't know how many times this city wall has been destroyed by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty since the orthodox dynasty of Yingzong, and it is difficult to repair it." ”

Yang Cong said coldly: "Won't it be repaired if it's difficult?" ”

This is a posture that is going to be frenzied, Wang Fuchen trembled and said: "My lord, it will be less than a year in the future, and I haven't had time to organize people to repair it." ”

Li Fengming, who was on the side, also accosted him and said: "Yes, my lord, this can't be blamed on General Wang, after all, the successive commanders of the Wanquan Commanders have not organized much manpower to repair." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he could only suppress his anger and continue to inspect.

Forget it, this guy is a relative of Cheng Guogong, it's not easy to turn his face, he still wants to win over Cheng Guogong's family at this time.
